[Poggio]

Sebastian heard something vaguely like human voices as he walked. He still held on to the apple no longer having the appetite for it. The young prince felt like he was being paranoid hearing voices. It was only because he'd finally met a human again. The first one in nearly 4 years. That wasn't his only concern however. The trees were slowly starting to dwindle and just beyond them the prince could see lush country side. Rolling hills of farm lands decorated with spots of animals that mooed in a harmonious symphony. Unfortunately for him the sun was going to sleep just beyond the horizon. He looked at the back of Red's head as she continued along her path. In the distance he could see a small cloister of lights. Biting his lips he said to her but more to himself. “Then I will have to pay you later.” As soon as the last rays of the light disappeared, Sebastian felt his bones aching, shifting. The small hairs on his skin started to resemble something like fur and before he knew it, Sebastian felt his body shift into a more naturally comfortable four legged position..

Using a hind leg he kicked the fabric around his legs till he was free. Then in one bite he swallowed the apple that he neglected to eat. Trotting behind the smell of dirt, lilies and cotton. The nerves in his stomach wound into a tight coil. This would be the first time since his curse that he would be around humans, as a beast. He was really to hungry and tired to fend off a mob. Sebastian paused siting in the path way. “I don't suppose just for tonight I could be your pet?” The young Prince hopped that he wasn't speaking in growls.
